These case studies in financial sustainability have been written to give you examples and insights into a range of possible routes to building sustainability. The cases are from a wide range of countries – Thailand, India, South Africa, Ghana and West Africa.
In selecting the organisations to write about we tried to show that it is possible to build sustainability using a diverse range of strategies. Our studies show that sustainability can be achieved in organisations working with very poor people, in a variety of sectors whether education or rural development, in membership associations and in civil society advocacy programmes.
